Sam is a blacksmith in a small rural township. He has spent his whole life there and is quite content with his lot. Now, however, things are changing. For some reason a mature, red dragon has taken up residence in a cave outside the town and it has already killed Ralf and his family. As a member of the group sent to find help to deal with the dragon, Sam is leaving town for the first time in his life. And the outside world is nothing like the safe, predictable existence that he has been used to until now. He learns of other races in the world and the mighty wars between them that have shaped the whole land, wars that are still being fought and have a great deal to do with the arrival of the dragon. Can Sam and his compatriots survive the journey and find a way to rid the town of its dragon problems? That is for the reader to discover as he follows the young blacksmith through his journey and sees a completely different person end the trip to the one who had started out.

This is the memoir of a C20th man. Jim Murphy left Canada at 15 years of age and emigrated to New Zealand where he completed school and university. He married an Australian and had two sons. Jim lived and worked in 10 countries in the South Pacific, Southeast Asia and Africa as a teacher, entrepreneur and university professor. His adventures and experience in different places among various cultures led him to Life Lessons for his grandchildren that are of universal merit.

Juvenile Chinook Salmon Abundance Index and Survey Feasibility Assessment in the Northern Bering Sea, 2014-2016

Juvenile Chinook Salmon Abundance Index and Survey Feasibility Assessment in the Northern Bering Sea, 2014-2016
Long-term monitoring of juvenile Chinook salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha is needed to identify recruitment and mortality processes, to understand early marine biology and ecology, and develop tools useful for fisheries management. A sampling program for Yukon River salmon was established in the northern Bering Sea in 2003 but annual sampling has been tenuous due to funding limitations. This project was designed to maintain the sampling program for Yukon River stocks, develop a genetic baseline to identify Yukon River stocks, and evaluate a lower cost survey alternative using a smaller vessel and trawl configuration. Results indicated that the genetic baseline can identify four groups of populations from Western Alaska, the two vessel/trawl configurations provided similar estimates of juvenile Chinook salmon abundance (within 20%); however, sea state limitations of the small vessel required an earlier survey timing (August rather than September). The change in survey timing contributed to differences in the spatial distribution and length of salmon caught during the 2 surveys. Surveys identified above average juvenile Chinook salmon abundance during 2014-2016 and above average juvenile abundance per spawner in 2014 and 2015. Both indicate an improvement to the recent poor production of Yukon River Chinook salmon, because juvenile abundance in the northern Bering Sea is known to be a leading indicator of adult returns for this stock. Sampling 2 different time periods provided additional insight into the early marine growth rates of juvenile Yukon River Chinook and other salmon species. Average Chinook salmon growth rate was 1.55 mm per day from marine entry to August, and 1.06 mm per day from August through September. This project represents a critical step to enable the long-term monitoring of juvenile Chinook salmon in Western Alaska and continued pursuit of factors that determine productivity and cohort strength of Yukon River Chinook salmon.

Estuarine Fish Ecology of the Yukon River Delta, 2014-2015

release date: Jan 01, 2017
Estuarine Fish Ecology of the Yukon River Delta, 2014-2015
A survey of fish species in the Yukon River Delta, primarily focused on juvenile Chinook salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha, was conducted in 2014 and 2015. The primary objective of this project was to get basic information on the fish assemblage in the delta, the outmigration phenology of salmon smolt, and the size and distribution of species using delta habitats. Sampling occurred during summer months starting with ice breakup, and included regular collections in habitats in major distributaries of the delta as well as monthly surveys in marine waters of the delta front. Water temperatures were much warmer in 2014 and 2015 than previous surveys of the Delta in 1986. Juvenile Chinook salmon were abundant within distributary samples throughout the sample period, utilizing all major distributaries of the river delta. Outmigration phenology of juvenile Chinook salmon was earlier in 2015 (median outmigration date 10 June) than 2014 (median outmigration date 23 June) and 1986 (median outmigration date 24 June). Average size at outmigration for distributary samples was also variable and significantly different among years (mean length in 1986 was 95 mm, in 2014 was 98 mm and in 2015 was 92 mm). Non-Chinook salmon species also showed evidence of interannual differences in size, seasonal growth patterns, and interannual outmigration phenologies. For example, chum salmon O. keta, were smallest in 1986 (mean length 43 mm) and largest in 2014 and 2015 (48 mm). Like Chinook salmon, chum salmon outmigrated earliest in 2015 (median outmigration 10 June) compared to 2014 (median outmigration 20 June) and 1986 (median outmigration 18 June). Important non-salmon species captured in the Yukon River delta included: coregonids, burbot Lota lota, Arctic lamprey Lethenteron camtschaticum, saffron cod Eleginus gracilis, Pacific herring Clupea pallasii, ninespine stickleback Pungitius pungitius, rainbow smelt Osmerus mordax, and sheefish Stenodus leucichthys.
